This pic of a smoke-breathing 'zilla-tree has been popping up a lot over the last few days, but the tree hasn't actually been sighted since its appearance in a November 2000 Godzilla festival held in the Odaiba Aqua City mall.

This one also appeared in front of Odaiba Aqua City in 2007. (What is it with these guys and monsters? Then again, they have a scaled-down Statue of Liberty right outside, too.) Love the pro-wrestling style tree take-down.

And last but not least, a totally unoffical neighborhood Godzilla light-o-rama from 2007, which gets points for having awesome taste if not exactly awesome execution. Then again, the fact it looks like a kid's drawing really "makes" it.

The airwaves are silent with regards to Godzilla Christmas sightings this year so far, but I do have one report from the far-flung city of Hekinan (碧南市) in Kansai.... Baltan Seijin from Ultraman! (See the big red-and-silver guy himself here!)
